As dark clouds gather over Brittany once again, it's whispered that a Traitor may be conspiring against the Round Table to bring down the kingdom. Band together with your allies to dispel these rumours and defeat the Shadows.

Announcing Shadows over Camelot - The Card Game. Based on the award-winning cooperative board game released in 2005, the Card Game follows in the footsteps of the original, as players work together to defend Camelot against rumors swirling about the kingdom.

The fast-paced game invites players to take on the role of sons & daughters of the legendary Knights of the Round Table; together, they must unite to defeat the game's threats, represented by a deck of Rumor cards that swirl around Camelot. Once again, the Knights face Traitors in their midst as loyalties are tested and may even switch sides during the game.

Shadows over Camelot - The Card Game includes a deck of 62 Rumor cards; 9 Knight cards; 9 Loyalty cards; 10 Quest Tokens and 16 double-sided (black and white) swords. It is a stand-alone game that takes approximately 20 minutes and can be played with 2-7 players, as well as a solo game. It is expected to be available in Europe in mid-October at the Essen Spiel and in North America in late October at a retail price of $25/¤23.

I can't wait to get this game! We love Shadows over Camelot, and the idea of being able to play the game in a shorter time or without the board sounds like a blast. Now we'll have a travel version of the game which is perfect, because we travel a lot!

I would love to see more expansions for Shadows! I don't know if you guys saw the interview on BGG of one of the game creators, but he talked about how this new Card Game version was created. He said they made it to be a board game first and then switched it to a card game later on...so hopefully they still have some ideas for expanding the board game version!

I'm sorry to say this pure card game does not appeal to me very much. It might appeal to my wife, because of the quick play, but not enough atmosphere for me. I'll give it a try if I get the chance, but it would be nice to have another way of completing quests (rather than guessing/counting cards).

I probably would have liked the big board game version they worked up prior to designing the card game even if it was just additional quests. I love the atmosphere of the original game.
